This is a pretty property with lots of family-friendly amenities. We rented a villa based on an internet search of the property. Parking is competitive around the villas (not in a good way.) The grounds immediately around our villa were totally covered with cigarette butts, plastic grocery bags and assorted trash including dirty diapers. It was also covered with hundreds of ant hills! The villa itself was cute but tight. There were no dressers/mirrors/alarm clocks in the bedrooms, two burnt out lights, none of the interior doors were level and there was a thriving spider population inside. The kitchen was poorly equipped and the futon in the living area made horrible screeching noises when touched. It didn't help that what seemed to be a thundering herd was in the unit above us. We are used to resorts having quieter lodging, providing well-equipped kitchens, blow dryers, alarm clocks and little convenient things like that. We had to go out and buy a blow dryer. The beds (not the futon) were very comfortable. There were plenty of towels, too. The on-site convenience store was a marvel - well-stocked and clean and the prices were fantastic - no gouging here! The staff we encountered were completely friendly and professional. The skate park and water parks were super clean and it appeared that all in attendance were having a blast. If we could offer any suggestions it would be to police and clean up the grounds around the villas. A first impression sets the tone and can't be re-done.

Room Tip: If renting a villa, get the TOP floor.

We recently stayed here with another family and rented a cabin for 10. It was a tight fit but the additional space and the kitchen were great for cooking meals. The loft area was perfect for the kids at night. We loved the dishwasher and laundry facilities within the cabin. What a treat to be able to pack light!

Customer service could improve though. Upon check-in we had to ask what cabin we were located in as we were not told and they thought that we were owners of the cabin. We received no information about the facilities or services offered. They still use keys for the cabins. A simple renovation would allow keycards which seem to be a little more secure. They also have large box televisions instead of flat screens. For upwards of $400 a night, a flat screen would be appropriate. In this day and age a place without flat screens tells me that a renovation is needed in the facility.

We consistently had to ask for additional items such as dishwashing and laundry detergent. They forgot twice to bring us additional garbage bags and our bags were not picked up for 24 hours outside of the cabin.

They should allow duel access with the Jellystone Park for the use of their facilities. It seems as though both parks would benefit from each others amenities instead of charging upwards of $20+ per day for the use of each others watermarks and other perks. Reciprocity between the two parks would seem to benefit both of them in terms of occupancy as the more amenities that one offers the greater the likelihood of more people. I realize that they are two different properties with two different owners but both could benefit from each other. Both properties use the same floor plans for the cabins.

If the price is right, I would stay here again but it would have to be a pretty good deal.

Overall, this resort is great family fun. The resort is beautiful and the amenities are wonderful. The amenities are family friendly and kept our four children interested the entire three days. The life guards at both the indoor and outdoor waterparks were attentive and courteous. We felt confident they would do a good job. We stayed in a hotel room. We had a 50% off deal so we were pleased with the price. Even at full price it would have been fairly reasonable considering the amenities. There is a dock on the resort and you can jump off the dock into a pond. Good fun for those that want to get outside and away from the waterparks.

Negatives: The staff had very little knowledge of the resort and essentially no knowledge of anything that was not in their immediate vicinity. For example, we would ask somebody in the waterpark a question about the resort or restaurant and they would have no idea. The knowledge displayed by the front desk was not much better. The woman selling snack foods and coffee did not know where to locate napkins. I know it is a resort with presumably many high school and college age employees in the summer but they need to have more knowledge.

Biggest disappointment - there was a vulgar song played on the overhead music heard throughout the entire resort. Inappropriate for families or children.

Room Tip: The second floor is the same floor to get easy access to the waterparks. The elevators are painfull...

My family and I stayed for two nights in the hotel part of the resort. The rooms are in good shape with the exception of hard beds. I didn't care for the open toilet concept and the tub is very narrow. We at the Pub onsite once and it was good food with good service (music a little too loud). The front desk check-in process was fine, but the front desk was not very helpful - no additional information about the hotel or waterpark (we learned it as we went). The waterpark was fun with the wave pool and water slides (very fast). The lifeguards mostly did a good job of watching the kids, however, some of them allowed their friends to stand on tubes(which you are not suppose to do) in the wave pool. The outdoor waterpark is very small, so we did not play out much. We got a really really good deal for the 2 nights. The town of Tomah is only 7 miles away with lots of eating places, so we at in town a couple of times. I would recommend Three Bears at the right price (not at full price).

Room Tip: Find a good deal before going to this resort. We got two nights for under $100.
